Ethnographies of Work
Call for Papers to be Published in Research in the Sociology of Work
Rick Delbridge, Markus Helfen, Andi Pekarek and Gretchen Purser, editors
Ethnographic studies provide unrivalled insights into the ‘hidden’ social worlds and places of work, enabling analyses of the experiences of work, its nature and context, and the impacts of contemporary developments from technology through economic and organizational change to the consequences of the Covid pandemic. Such research gives voice to the under-represented and disenfranchised of society while exploring and exposing the characteristics and consequences of the nature of contemporary capitalism in and through work.
This Special Issue of Research in the Sociology of Work invites papers that explore the changing nature of work but also the continuities that mark worlds of work. We also welcome papers that explore the methodological issues of ethnography in the context of researching work. Our interest is in providing a showcase for a broad range of the latest research in the ethnographic traditions of the sociology of work.
Articles can address any of a wide range of topics and themes, including but not limited to the following:
• Control and Resistance at Work
• Precarious Employment
• Gig Work and the Platform Economy
• ‘Dirty’ or ‘Dangerous’ Work
• Work and Family
• Knowledge Work and Creative Work
• Diversity Management
• Intersectionality at Work
• Work and Social Movements
• Gender, Work, and Neo-liberalism
• Work and Sustainability
• Work and the State
• Emotional Labour and Service Work
• Sex Work
• AI, Data, and Automation at Work
• Occupations and Professions
• Immigrants at Work
• Global Supply Chains and Work
• Work in the time of Covid and beyond
We invite a range of contributions.
Extended empirical papers should be based on ethnographic research and include an in-depth discussion of empirical findings. These may run up to 20,000 words in length (inclusive) in order to allow for an extended presentation of novel and significant research findings. We are seeking to showcase the rich contribution of research in the ethnographic tradition, and therefore this type of submission is intended to form the centrepiece of this volume. Standard papers which develop new insights into work through empirical analysis or examine methodological aspects of ethnography are also welcome. These should be a maximum of 10,000 words.
Short commentaries or provocations are contributions that provide a personal insight or comment on current debates in ways that are not possible in the conventional paper form. These may address any issue related to the ethnographic study of work and should be no longer than 3,000 words in length.
Extended reviews are contributions that review one or more monographs that feature ethnographic research. These might be recently published books or entail the revisiting of previously published work in ways that reflect on its contemporary significance. We also invite reviews of other media which develop insights into worlds of work. These contributions should be no longer than 5,000 words.
Submissions are invited for contributions of all types and may be made at any time up until 1st March 2022. Please submit your manuscript to RSWEditors@gmail.com and include Ethnography in the subject line.
We encourage prospective authors to contact us if you would like to discuss your idea for a submission, particularly if you are considering submitting a ‘non-standard’ paper.
Future volumes will address questions of Employability and Essential and Nonesssential Work. Calls for papers will appear here: https://books.emeraldinsight.com/page/series-detail/Research-in-the-Sociology-of-Work/

Special Issue on Transformation Challenges, Entrepreneurial and Managerial Impact, Consequences for Business Research and Education
Climate change, political and societal turbulence or emerging technologies challenge organizations and individuals to transformation. These developments pose enormous opportunities but also threats for organizations and individuals, who have to answer how to deal with change and how to make use of change. Dealing with and making use of change is at the heart of entrepreneurial and managerial decision making and acting. We invite research papers that put change and transformation at the core of their analysis, and/or discuss consequences for business research and education.
Papers for the Special Issue may address, for example, the following topics:
The aim of the Special Issue is to publish new and pathbreaking work that engages with the above mentioned or related questions. We invite papers that provide new evidence and engage with salient bodies of theoretical and applied knowledge. We welcome paradigmatic, theoretical, empirical (quantitative and qualitative), and methodological contributions that speak to these aspects. All contributions should clearly address the practical and theoretical implications for business decisions and/or societal institutions.

About the PresentationAcademic contributions on the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences continue apace. As with most disciplines, scholars working in the organisation sciences have turned their attention to this extraordinary phenomenon, and have offered an array of insights designed to assist our understanding and management of the altered circumstances and attendant complexity thrown up by it. Based on a preliminary analysis of a corpus of scholarship published in selected Management and HRM journals, in this presentation Professor Michael Morley will landscape the contours of this evolving body of work and its underlying intellectual structure. Through a performance analysis, he will identify key elements of the anatomy of the knowledge base built thus far, while in a textual analysis he will outline focal topics and shared qualities characterizing the contributions. Following this exposition and classification of the scholarship, he will turn to the identification of a series of research opportunities designed to either deepen recently established lines of inquiry, or open up new ones of relevance to addressing the ongoing work, workplace and work-life challenges that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic. |

The 9th Austrian Early Scholars Workshop in Management
November 19–20, 2021
@ JKU—Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
The Ninth Austrian Early Scholars Workshop in Management provides an opportunity for advanced PhD students and academics in early career stages from all countries to present their research and discuss it with colleagues and professors from international and Austrian universities. In addition to facilitating intellectual exchange, this program supports the development of a global network of Early Scholars interested in management and organization studies from institutional, organizational and behavioral perspectives.
Workshop Conveners & Faculty Members
Faculty
Target Group and Eligibility
The target group of the Workshop is early career scholars who intend to pursue an academic career in the fields of organization and management theory, strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, HRM, international management or public management. The Workshop is open to academics in early stages of their academic careers and PhD students who have already completed a substantial part of their dissertation projects.
The Austrian Early Scholars Workshop in Management invites research that covers a broad range of topics and draws from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. In addition, given faculty members’ extensive expertise in institutional theory as well as in organizational change, innovation and entrepreneurship, the Workshop provides an environment particularly conducive to research in these areas.
Application Process
Applicants are requested to submit a CV and a short essay (max. 2,000 words) that summarizes their research to be presented during the Workshop. Please upload your CV and short essay no later than October 3, 2021 to https://web.tresorit.com/r#MhlCWFh-Ybj10xbhGUkJSg.
Notification of acceptance is sent out no later than October 10, 2021. A longer paper, either an extended essay (max. 4,000 words) or a full paper (max. 8,000 words), must be submitted by November 10, 2021 for distribution to discussants and participants.
Workshop Format
All participants present a piece of empirical or conceptual research during the Workshop. Each participant is assigned one of two formats: (1) presentation in a plenary session (twenty minutes for presentation, followed by ten minutes for feedback from two discussants and ten minutes for open discussion); (2) discussion at a development roundtable with four Early Scholars and two faculty members (five minutes for introductory statement followed by 25 minutes for everyone at the roundtable to provide feedback based on their advance reading of the paper, and open discussion).
To be able to contribute fully to the discussions and aid their fellow researchers, participants are required to prepare by reading their colleagues essays and full papers prior to the Workshop. Essays and papers are distributed electronically one week prior to the Workshop.
Program and Fees
The Workshop commences on November 19, 9:00 a.m. We adjourn no later than November 20, 4:00 p.m. There are no participation fees for accepted Early Scholars. The Workshop Dinner on Friday is covered by the organization.
Conference Venue
The Workshop is held at the JKU Campus in Linz, Austria (https://www.jku.at/en/campus/the-jku-campus). The campus is conveniently accessible by public transportation: A streetcar runs from the train station to the campus. Frequent, fast trains connect Linz to Vienna, Salzburg and Munich (https://tickets.oebb.at/en/ticket/travel?cref=oebb-header).
We also offer a few slots for virtual participation in a development roundtable to provide Early Scholars, who cannot travel to Linz, with an opportunity to give and receive feedback.
Accommodation
Participants are responsible for their travel arrangements and accommodation. We reserved hotel rooms close to campus. Program coordinators will contact accepted participants and, if desired, provide support with booking suitable accommodation.
COVID-19 Pandemic: Safety Measures and Disclaimer
After almost two years of online communication, we seek to provide Early Scholars with an opportunity for face-to-face dialogues and spontaneous personal interaction both during and beyond the official Workshop program. JKU has implemented strict safety protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and will continue to do so. Since it is by far the most effective preventative measure, we kindly ask participants to arrive fully vaccinated, thereby protecting everyone present and easing scholarly and social togetherness. Some uncertainty will however remain: should free travel to and from Austria not be possible in November, the
Workshop will have to be cancelled. We provide an update on the COVID-19 situation together with the notifications of acceptance by October 10.
